This is the result of a songwriting challenge that Andy took part in on a songwriting forum he uses
We were all given the same lyrics and then sent away to see what came back and see how different the results would be in styles etc ,

This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
Another outstanding collaboration...Colleen your already great vocals are sounding better and better...this is your best recording yet in my opinion ..the mix between your voice and the music is perfect....cudos to Paul

Comments on Ron's stuff
Excellent........
This hits the spot. I prefer brandy meself (and vodka martini) but this makes me wonder. Love the choruses.
This is JUST PLAIN FUN . . . .
Originally attracted by the title I stopped for a very entertaining Three minutes, nice one.
..the change of pace at the bridge works well - you'll be entitled to your royalty cheque..
Love that spring reverb. Right on the money with the mid 60's rock sound. Killer.
you guys are driving me to drinking today
Outstanding . . . I'll drink to that! Good Gawd, the bridge is FANTASTIC. I like the scream and the denial at the end.
Oh yeah, love it
Yeah! Nice choice!
Love It! You are the Master!
Oh Yeah . . . I get an instant smile when I listen to this. Over the top . . . The only way to go.
*GOOD GAWD !!!* Stopped by for another listen
Good song.
crisp and sweet intro.getting old is hell
Yes, sad song, but well written. You guys did a nice job on it. I especially liked the intro.
That's really really good...... Flows right over you nicely.....
Like the tune and lyrics are fun. and musically as always very well done
Beautiful. It flows well and the music really supports the lyrics well. I have to admit . . . I was looking for at least one *"GOOD GAWD"* in there.
Funkedelic and Soulful -- masterfully composed and performed! Fabulous job! ROCK ON!
